I have an ABM600 and its a great amp (paired with a couple of BB2's). Doesn't suffer from the Ashdown wool thing and you can do a great SVT thing with it.....
-
Push the low mids and mids a bit is the general answer - or, if its just boomy, cut the bass and crank the volume..... Depends on your rig though of course - some setups are punchy, some are smoother

Grabbed some strings from Mark........ a spotless bit of business as always

i'm pretty much ready to eat my own leg at 1am after a gig....... anything will do, my quality control goes out of the window. however a Lamb shish with chilli and garlic sauce, red cabbage and salad is top of the list

Possible dodgy Elixirs on fleabay - heads up with link

[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1465658241' post='3070029'] Another thread here on this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285981-dodgy-elixir-nanoweb-strings-bought-on-ebay/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [/quote] Sorry, didn't see that - its the same guy -
not sure if this is the right forum or within the rules - mods feel free to move/delete it if you feel you need to....... Just hunting strings on Fleabay and came across these Elixirs at a cheap price. Check out the spelling on the top right info panel on the image of the back of the packet - loads of errors leads me to believe they may be hooky. Just a heads up. Be careful out there..... Heres the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elixir-Bass-Strings-45-105-Nanoweb-Coating-/322108433363

I think its a risk of the newer text/messaging culture - you just assume people have read/seen the message and can't be bothered to get in touch. I'm pretty certain that anyone who's living depends on selling anything would be pretty hot on following things through...... i gave my 12year old lad a roasting the other day for not replying to a text from me (just one about collecting him from school) - he insisted he hadn't received it and it came through as we were talking - he genuinely hadn't received it. You can't beat the old school method of actually talking to people....

I've had both - contoured is much comfier. The top part of the slab rubbed on my forearm and constantly niggled me......

Thoroughly enjoyed this program. A refreshing mix of good bands - i thought they were all good in their own ways - and the 2 i liked most went through. Bombskare were awesome, so much energy and i bet they are a real laugh live - i dont even like ska..... Looking forward to the next instalment.

Ive got a couple of Barefaced Big Baby 2's and frequently use just one in a loud rock covers band

And this one is trans red I think .....i'd put my money on it being this colour and the photo saturation being quite altered Early versions were a bit lighter, the later ones apparently were darker. heres an example from this site [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/268516-musicman-stingray-92-94-trans-red-price-drop-l750-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...drop-l750-sold/[/url] and heres a useful site [url="http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-basses/11316-what-colour-ernie-ball-music-man-bass-finishes-guide.html"]http://forums.ernieb...shes-guide.html[/url]

Has anyone compared a BF BB2 with a Vanderkley 115MN6?
Mudpup replied to dave_bass5's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1463754848' post='3053877'] Had I not been offered to use the new rehearsal Ashdown 4x10 combo, I would have been more interested in a smaller do-it-all-up-to-a-certain-extent light cab. Alas, paying £3 for a 3 hours on an Ashdown is a small price to pay for not carrying a cab down 3 flights of stairs and trying to get it into a New Beetle. Off topic, but jees, this Ashdown combo unfortunately keeps with the generalisation of 'wooliness'. Loud, bassey, but not enough clarity at all. Barely any sparkle, Massive mid dip when flat I think. Shame as I wanted to investigate more Ashdown gear but it is an old combo any may well be in need of TLC. [/quote] Sorry for the thread hijack (although i do use an Ashdown thru a BB2 so i kind of qualify..) I had an old ABM head and found the same thing, woolly and pillowy and couldn't get any sparkle - gave up and sold it on ages ago. Just ended up with an ABM600 head recently and hunted around for some setting advice on t'internet turned up something from Roger Bauer. Tried it and damned if it didn't change the whole sound of the amp. Its a bit anti logical but try it..... Disengage the scoop button (so its scooped), turn the bass control down to about 10 o'clock, bump the 180 slider down just a touch, boost 340 just a bit (puts some mids back), mid control about 1 o'clock, boost 1.3 slider a couple of notches, 2.6 to taste, treble at 2 o'clock. Oh and drive the valve a bit (puts the harmonic zing back in). Give it a go next time..... -
Turned up at a regular gig last night to find a private 30th party in full swing where we normally set up. Immediately get the old "damn, we've been blown out and nobody told us" sweats..... Have a word with the owner, no problem - we want you to play in the restaurant tonight please, he says (its a giant pub/hotel, restaurant sort of place). Hmnnn - this aint looking promising, we're a noisy rock covers band and the punters won't fancy us spoiling their chocolate fudge cake. The restaurant closes at 10 and we start at 9.30... Set up with grumpy drummer carrying everything through the diners. Its not looking promising, cramped area, waitresses walking thru our area with dinners, can't turn main lights down cos people are eating etc.... Persuade manager to turn lights down. Start playing 1st set - everyone loves it, could actually be an ok evening maybe. 2nd set - 30th birthday party migrates into our room, diners have stayed and everyone is completely up for it. Probably about 300 people going nuts :-) We have all the lights and smoke going, play really well and the whole place is dancing and singing every word of the second set. Manager comes up afterwards and says that it was the best gig they've ever seen there (they have bands every weekend and have been going for years) - thats why you do it....... From grumpy and can't be arsed at the beginning to coming offstage sweaty and grinning after one of the most enjoyable gigs I've ever played in the space of 4 hours - just goes to show, you never can tell

Amazing Stingray tone - Ged Grimes, Simple Minds live video
Mudpup replied to Mudpup's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='E sharp' timestamp='1463776993' post='3054077'] This is great . I've always been finger style only , and now trying to use a pick for the first time in 30 yrs . This is exactly the pick style I'm looking at - what a great player [/quote] Its a great example of how to lock in with a fab drummer too. Ged is playing pretty loose over the drums but they just sound so comfortable together - what a rhythm section!
